On B2B Indonesia<\/p>\n
I read with dismay the letter from Uraini Umarjadi of PT
\nDataindo Inti Swakarsa that appears in March 2 edition of The
\nJakarta Post. I have no affiliation with her company, except that
\nin my column I once reviewed the product that is now being
\npirated and circulated freely around.<\/p>\n
Having been once in the direct mailing business, I know how
\nchallenging it is to keep data up-to-date. Every day my employees
\nhad to call each of the names on the database to verify that the
\nindividual was still working in the same company and was still
\nholding the same position. It was a tremendous amount of effort
\n-- day in, day out. I quit after three months.<\/p>\n
A database such as the B2B Indonesia is useful only to
\nbusinesses. Now, are these businesses not supposed to pay for all
\nthe tools that they use to do business? If they invest in company
\ncars, or furniture, PCs, air-conditioners etc., should they not
\nalso invest in the database that they use to get new business
\ncontacts?<\/p>\n
And then, even if the database can be easily copied and
\nduplicated, has it not occurred to these businesses that, if they
\nbuy the original, they will be helping Indonesian small and
\nmedium businesses grow and in turn, provide more jobs for
\nIndonesians?<\/p>\n
